Art>Untapped potential or Untapped potential>Art?

[Mr Deap]

I always argues on forums how much annoying it is with all the hardware talk & crap. But I never really saw something different between each game on a similar system.

I'm afraid I don't understand the point of this thread, or the meaning of your post, but all that hardware talk 'crap' is what B3D is about!

 

[BoardBonobo]

I think he's meaning that arguing the theoretical pro\cons of current hardware is meaningless when the actual games produced look and play almost identically.

 

[Mr Deap]

What I mean is if system potential really does beatiful graphic?

I mean if the result is better if the 3D is better optimised by art alone than optimize the code or hardware acceleration.

 

[Shifty Geezer]

Well, yes! Better hardware can produce better games when the art isn't holding you back. What possible reason is there to doubt that when we can see for ourselves in improvements in technology and what they net us.

 

[Mr Deap]

But if the games use everything it got on the same hardware.

But isn't it 3D model optimization, balancing between environment detail & such worth a lot more than code optimization?
